Re: [uknof] Cisco Sup2T Memory

[Catalin Dominte]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your help with this. I went ahead and bought the memory from 
Cybertrading as per Peter's advice. So Peter, you won a beer! Is Ale ok for you?

@Maria - I don't have any spares I can use to run some checks, otherwise I 
would have done that. Was more curious to see what the great www knowledge came 
up with, but in this instance it wasn't much to find.

Have you been able to pull a Sup 2T to check the RAM that's in them
already? Even if they don't gave a part code on them, you should still be
able to look at the model numbers on the RAM chips and from their get their
specs.

if you can find an old laptop which takes DDR2 SODIMMS, fit them to
that, boot linux and run "dmidecode" and see if it tells you something
useful?
you'll need a machine with a core2 processor, or older, I think.
